Question 5

i was just diagnosed with gastroparesis. what is an appropriate diet for me?

Accepted Answer

Gastroparesis Rx: Since fatty foods normally slow gastric emptying, we typically recommend a low fat diet with gastroparesis (slow emptying).  Sweet, rich foods will also slow stomach emptying.  Signs of delayed gastric emptying include early fullness, altered appetite, nausea and sometimes heartburn/vomiting.  There are also medications available for the treatment of gastroparesis.

Question 6

is cooked spinach safe for a gastroparesis diet?

Accepted Answer

Small, soft, low fat: Small volume, low fat meals and soft foods are easier for the stomach to process. Consider minimizing tough meat, crunchy fruit/vegetables and fresh bread and instead select casseroles, soft-cooked vegetables, soft pasta, porridge, stewed fruits and dairy desserts like low fat yogurt or mousse.
